Summary: PROFONDO ARGENTO! Yes, folks - it has actually happened... A full-on Dario Argento celebration (?) on the Horror Etc Podcast! Okay, let's set the record straight... In the past, we haven't necessarily been kind to the Italian maestro of the macabre. In fact, a previous attempt to record a commentary for "Phenomena" went disastrously wayward. Well, the impossible seems to have happened... Tony has become an Argento convert (thanks in part to the assistance of this week's guest co-host and die hard Dario enthusiast, Barry Yuen) , and while Ted is still perched on the fence, he admits to a respect for certain entries in Argento's canon and his indisputable skill behind the lens. There is a general consensus that the Master's work has suffered in recent years, but with the coming release of Dracula 3D is it possible that the Italian auteur might be returning to form with one of his most ambitious projects to date? Well, the jury's still out on that one (giant preying mantises?). With an emphasis on the 3 Mothers trilogy (Suspiria, Inferno, Mother of Tears), Deep Red, Tenebrae, and a few other 'lesser' Argento films tossed in for good measure, we hope this weeks episode will make for good listening for fans, detractors, fellow fence-sitters and the uninitiated alike - indeed, it's the podcast that you never thought youâ??d hear...
